This looks like the worst mistake I've seen Apple make in a long time.

HDMI-in works spectacularly shittily in the TouchSmarts (i.e., can't watch a video-in-window—it must be full screen, and it does not integrate with Media Center). Hope it works better here.

In terms of film villains and their villainous lies, this ranks as the best of all time (not sci-fi but certainly fantastical!).

And yet you and I use them as monitors, and the companies sell them :)

Gotta read those specs; the devil's in the details.

That's a very usable PPI range... why? Because we employ it in certain applications. Large screen monitors (i.e., a 40" 1920x1080 display, like in this video) can be very useful & non-crap. I agree that a ~90 foot screen would be non-usable in far more instances.

Nah, 2560 x 1080 is fine at "almost" any size as a monitor, depends on the use context and personal preferences. "Almost" is a relative term, as is "absolute crap." ;) Could I interest you in absolute crap 70" or 80" monitors?…

yeah it's the same resolution. And "almost" is a relative term.

Almost about the same size, with the same resolution, and I think LG makes one, too:

Boom & thanks

this (by me!)

Show me a wifi donkey, and I'll show you an ass which every man covets.

Yes, it was a spike about 3 feet long. Ties are only about a foot to 18 inches long, usually, as I recall; the thing that went through Gage's head was a bit longer than that.

To me, as a doctor, the most amazing thing about Gage's injury was the after-injury problems/care he received. This included probing his brain/cranium with metal rods, a fungal and/or bacterial encephalitis with early foul-smelling discharge from the wound, and the doctors' reliance on the heavy use of silver nitrate…

Oh yeah. Well it goes without saying you need water to survive in any given scenario. If I said you could just survive on protein—which you could (if it had all the essential amino acids)—it's implied you'd need to drink water. ;)

Nope. Hard-core alcoholics survive for weeks at a time on just alcoholic beverages. Now, many of those beverages have carbs too, and almost none of them are pure alcohol (hence are mostly water). You don't need many calories per day to just survive—maybe 800 to 1000. Hence 150 or grams of alcohol/day would give you…

The water doesn't necessarily have to have any velocity to show a laminar flow; something (like a swimmer) moving through water can show laminar flow even though the water itself is still.

Oh and also...
